Tim O’Brien är ett sånt där geni som man stöter på i USA och som det visar sig har spelat och
gjort låtar med mängder av bra artister. Så här står det att läsa om honom.
O'Brien's music feels familiar and comfortable while never lapsing into the predictable. These rare talents earned him a Grammy in 2006 in the Best Traditional Folk Category for his album Fiddler’s Green. The Wall Street Journal called him a player who updates and clarifies classic repertoire without
stripping it of its earthy essence, and who writes classic-sounding material stamped with his own perceptive personality. He describes what he's been doing all these years more concisely: making something new out of something old.
Songs by his pen have made an impact on many careers—The Dixie Chicks chose "More Love"
for their multi-platinum Home, Garth Brooks cut "When No One's Around" on his Sevens album, and "When You Come Back Down" helped to make Nickel Creek's self-titled debut a success. O'Brien has also made his mark on myriad other recordings performing his signature fiddle, mandolin, and vocals for such artists as The Chieftains, Guy Clark, Alison Brown, Scott Miller, Jerry Douglas, Bela Fleck, The Yonder Mountain String Band, Jim Lauderdale, and Dwight Yoakam.

Kvällens support är lokala bluegrasshjältarna i Downtown Ramblers, för aftonen förstärkta med fiolvirituosen Lissa Schneckenburger. På bara några år har Downtown Ramblers redan hunnit etablerara sig som ett av landets och Europas främsta bluegrass-band (de vann nämligen kategorin Bästa Bluegrass både vid Country-SM och röstades fram som #1 European Blugrass Band vid European World Of Bluegrass Festival 2009!). Bandets självbetitlade debut kom i slutet på 2008, med enbart egenkomponerat material.
